 In 2005, in an effort to design for the "average Joe", Cuevas worked with his son Manny Jr. to create a men's and women's luxury, ready-to-wear clothing line featured at New York Fashion Week in 2006.The limited-piece collection was manufactured in Italy and was the first and only time that Manuel produced any clothing outside of the United States.After 25 years at 1922 Broadway, Manuel decided he needed to be closer to downtown Nashville and more open to the public.
